Which countries are actually important to us within the EU because looking at the list a lot seem quite trivial. Are there any stats?
 
Remain camp suddenly hating democracy. Shame.

What's the point in arguing? What's done is done and let's just all try and find a way to make this work, and make it great.
 
How is Juncker getting away scott-free?

The EU is falling apart under his direction and saying you won’t get a better deal and the EU will never reform, two days before the referendum really hit a negative chord with voters.

His head should roll too, he did nothing but help the out campaign.

The biggest single day drop in the pound's history, before the Bank of England stepped in - and the money they'll be pumping in will far outweigh any contribution we make to the EU. And we'll have to find that money back somehow.
No foreign company can now invest in our country - not till after we've spent years of negotiations.
The money lost will never be regained.
What happens when you ignore the, almost unheard of, unanimous opinion of the worlds most respected economic experts - what do experts know? Just 'scare mongering'
It's going to be difficult to stave off recession - even the brexit economist report predicted we'd go into recession (they didn't publicise that part much)
They've been quick to backtrack on the things they promised - no £350m a wk to the NHS - I think they should be made to find it, though they've all been advocates of replacing the NHS with the American model.

All the banks Euro markets will now move.
Morgan Stanley already have plans to move 2000 staff.
The City accounts for about 13% of our total tax revenue.

I'm finding it very hard not to be livid.

Not another hysterical sore loser post, can't be many more to come.
 
Just been listening to people from the Black Country talking about the referendum, on BBC News.

All of the English people voted out because of immigration (all those they interviewed); "they're taking our jobs". Of course it's just a selection but this view clearly is held by some and I think UKIP has appealed to those people very well.

Nail on head!

Even the most pro-EU supporters in the richer countries talk about it like some kind of bad thing that's OK because everyone has to put up with it. The only opposition to any kind of restriction on the freedom of movement tends to come from the governments of poorer countries because they know how much they get from their workers coming here and sending a decent proportion of their wages back home, and thus into their economy.

Agreed. It isn't even going to rank highly on what is necessary.

With Scotland likely to leave the UK, the 'Toffs' have been pretty much guaranteed power for some time to come.

No genuine act of revolt has the full support of the Mail, the Sun and the right wing of the Tory party.

You've been duped mate.

You've just voted in the real 'Toffs'
You've just voted for the right wing of the Tory party

Be angry all you want, the people voted for this. The people were angry at having their properties vandalised by new arrivals and daily lives impacted by it.

Nobody cared about their plight did they, none whatsoever. They were told to shut up and told how friendly and great it all was.

Ignorance all around lead us here. Now we must make best of it all.

Who said the revolt was finished?

Cameron, Corbyn, Farage, Johnson, May are all still in the firing line. We're not done yet.

All comparable to the damage done under the 2008 recession by greedy bankers and lax government control.

But guess what? The UK recovered from that, and it will do so from this.

"recovered" do you mean stripped out the last of the nations assets whilst failing to cut the deficit?

Biggest concern for people who voted leave is immigration, what you here on news is people saying polish taking our jobs, kids in schools not speaking english, non british filling up GP places.

Now then, pulling out of the EU in the next 1 hour for example does no automatically reduce the UK population, the only way then to deliver on what leave voters want is to start kicking people out of the country or wait a few generations and fully close our borders and not let anyone in.

Pretty sure you have no grasp of macro economics, populace trends and the wider issues that western economies face in the long run. If the UK stopped migration our population would actually decline, especially among those that are perceived as "affluent". Birth rates among tax payers are too low as people focus more on their careers and other priorities. This is fact.

What would result is an ageing population, a declining working population and an all around poop shoot. See Japan.

Why do you think Germany encouraged so many refugees to settle within their borders?

Migration and mixing of cultures is not without its issues, granted. But most of these are cultural problems that can be solved via education and positive social trends. A country full of old bitter people with too few young tax payers to prop up the economy? THAT is a real problem.
